Wales full back Liam Williams is facing missing the rest of the domestic season after being cited for a dangerous tackle on Alex Cuthbert.

Williams was initially sin binned for taking Cuthbert out while catching a hight ball in the early stages of Sunday's Judgement Day clash between the Scarlets and the Blues.

The fiery full back was later red carded for an altercation with Robin Copeland but is now in even more hot water after the independent citing commissioner decided his sixth minute tackle was dangerous.

A pro 12 statement today said: "Liam Williams, the Scarlets full back, has been cited for an alleged dangerous tackle, contrary to Law 10.4 (e), following the RaboDirect PRO12 match against Cardiff Blues at the Millennium Stadium on Sunday 20 April 2014.

"The tackle resulted in the referee awarding a yellow card to the player but following review it was deemed the tackle was sufficiently dangerous to have warranted a red card and cited the player."

Williams will now face a disciplinary hearing at a date to be decided later today.
